Yes? It's mentioned in most "rise of Nazis" documentary of which there are 1000s and everyone has seen a few. I'd consider most educated people to know it. More than SD, less than SS. It's fair to say that union busting was a specific part of the brown-shirt agenda but beyond that it's probably not a very useful historical analogy. There was a much more direct link between worker organisations and nascent revolutionary socialism. IMHO Nazi antipathy to unions was more about political competition than preventing increased worker's rights. It would be more analagous if it was a republican allied political group working to disrupt unions because they were organising to support democrats.
